lil stuff left to do like take the car to bad bob and have him weld up the v-bands to my h-pipe. then install the boost controller.

thats all folks.

[98Camarod]

Looks good man! what kind of power are you expecting?

[Carlrx7]

what ever it will take to get a 9.99 et. but going to have three modes on the boost controller.

wg setting 8psi = 650whp

8psi bc A mode = 650whp but with less lag, full spool at 3k

14psi bc B mode = 800whp for the track

18psi bc scramble mode = 9XX/???? BOOM

p.s. still stock ls2 beside cam.

[s14.5gonewide]

lookin good.

[Shane361]

Impressive! :cheers

[SOADweskey]

I love it. I can't wait to see it in action.

[Carlrx7]

going to grab some skinnies and some 28" hoosiers, so i can be like shawnyboy and do some tire totin. lol

why not upgrade to a forged setup. i see a new motor in your future. the turbo setup looks good.

[LXtasy]

Very nice carl. Looks like it was a fun install

[Derek]

Hell yeah thats gonna give a zr1 a bad day.

[ForceFed4g63]

Very nice!

im sure yall could run the cobra's and the vette. lol. or find someone with a built cobra. love the car carl. now if you werent such a vagina

[Carlrx7]

street car

[schardbody]

when do you plan on going to the track? and which one?

[Carlrx7]

bowman to do some shakedown's then to darlington asap. im not sure if i want to put it on the dyno.

[chrisheltra]

Me thinks your going to have a lot of bugs to work out but I cant wait to see it when you do.

[03SVTCOBRA]

pull half the plugs then maybe i can keep up.

[csikx]

I just finished reading your thread on the corvetteforum. Did you finish it yesterday, like you hoped?

[Carlrx7]

yep, done, i just need to find time to goto masterbend and get the midpipes v-banded to connect to the downpipes. im hoping boss will let me out early on Tuesday. as of right now, the h-pipe is being held up with safetywire, open dumps. kinda loud. lol

-Carl

[csikx]

Sweet...

I kinda read over it, but what was the problem with the driver's (I think) pipe? I know you had to carve away at some of the fender, but was that it? I saw you returned some piping.

[Carlrx7]

lil update:

I checked for boost leaks and had a ton of them! every coupler leaked,bov's, even the back of the compressor cover leaked like a son of a bitch! tighented down the couplers, added rtv to the bov's flange and got some anaerbolic sealant for the compressor cover and took car of that.

then i thought i had a vacuum leak, turns out it was just crazy turbulence in the maf, need to get a screen, but for now i just switched to Speed Density closed loop. car purs like a kitten. just a lil surge during a cold start for 30 seconds i need to iron out.

This is a screen shot of me trying to run Waste Gate pressure which is 6-8psi

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m62/carlrx7/boostcreepmaf.jpg

umm, 13psi, wtf.. oh well, going to hook up the boost controller and see if commanding 13psi will cover up the boost creep or just make it worse. if it gets worse then ill upgrade to external w/g's

-Carl

p.s. car is offically faster then the supercharger setup with 3.25 pulley with a time of 4.44 seconds from 50-110, can't wait to get the 13 psi down low around 3500rpms. can you say rocket ship?

[Magoo]

Going to be nasty!

[minytrker]

Wow that was alot of work. It looks badass though, what kind of times are you shooting for?

[ForceFed4g63]

Very nice, looks like you got a decent starting tune on there, no knock, but then again your timing is really low too. I wish I could take a ride lol.

[SOADweskey]

That is some serious boost creep. Dual external wastegate dumps would sound awesome, given that you don't have to drive the car all the time.

[Carlrx7]

i checked the waste gates, they both crack open at 7.8 psi and then fully open at 12.1 psi.

dont let the low timing fool you, you only want enough to get the job done, no need to go past MBT. a lot comes down to the combustion chamber, the more efficient the heads, the lower the timing required. 14 degrees is about the highest i will go, remember this is a high compression engine 10.9:1 with 14psi. oh and on the vitamin E.

-Carl

oh, final goal is 9.99 et, which i believe i have the power for, but now i just need to get some wheels and pray to god the stock rear and stock trans hold. im no power shifter..

You should have the power for 9.99, now if you can get the 60ft needed for a 9.99 may be a better question.

[SOADweskey]

I've never seen to much custom tuning with anything other than a 4G63. I thought your timing was low as well but it makes sense with compression so high. I like to shoot for 17 degrees with my engine but I only have 8.8:1 compression.

Good luck to you on getting the rear end and trans to hold a 9.99 pass. Let us know on here when you are going to try. I would like to cheer you on and buy you a celebratory beer.

[bwelch]

Low timing will help a stock motor take a beating and survive for awhile.

[Carlrx7]

i hooked the boost controller up today, did some quick pulls. 9psi at 3700 rpms and holds, its like getting hit from behind with a space shuttle, after that, im just along for the ride.. I let off at 90 mph because i felt the ass end start to try and come around on me. anyways. from 50-87mph i dropped 4 tenths from the wg spring. thats right, 4 tenths. 9's are so close, i can taste them!!!

[1998ta__1991rs]

you're running 2.5 times the timing i am, im at a solid 8* at wot under boost

[SOADweskey]

His timing does drop tight after full boost, but that does seem a bit high when it hit full boost.

my base timing is at 28* and ramps down to 8*

[ElecTech]

Why so low? How much compression/ boost are you running? PM if you don't want to post it.



Looking good Carl.

Looking good Carl.

compression is around 9.8:1 and the motor is seeing 14lbs of boost. I'm also on e85. I'm still on the start up tune, havnt messed with it at all since i got the car together. It has a lot of potential for more power i just need to get the chassis working better before I turn it up. It seems to be making decent power where it is now, it trapped 121mph last weekend in the 1/8th, with no timing and relitavely low boost.

[Carlrx7]

because race car! every part of your engine is more efficient than mine, from the heads, intake manifold, cam and turbo.

your also above 1k hp. 8 degrees is probably fine for that race mota.

[1998ta__1991rs]

your also above 1k hp.

i highly doubt it

[Carlrx7]

is your spark based on map or (g/cly)?

didn't do any tuning. will probably strap it down on a mustang to keep the turbos spool'd. on the street with the aem tru boost set the same i make 14psi all day.

all in all, im happy i was able to make some clean pulls and drive it home...
